On Sunday, we played our first true ‘listening room’ at Dayton’s beloved Vagabond Studio & Gallery.
It was a cold and dreary day in March after a week of blessed sunshine and spring weather.
A winter’s last-ditch effort kind of day to keep us all in pajamas & binging on PBS Masterpiece forever.
So I was not surprised when, one by one, faithful friends started texting me that they wouldn’t be able to make it out after all.
Still, a few showed, and we had ourselves an intimate concert.
It took me a song or two to get used to the quiet—my nerves wanted to fill the empty spaces—but once I adjusted, it felt pretty sacred.
Just a small group of us cozily gathered there in Jen and Jonah’s creative gallery, soaking up the room draped in original art, funky furniture, and colorful twinkle lights.
Old and new friends, sitting close, listening with smiles, nodding their heads to the music.
Our Jonah perched in the window seat above, watching his dad sing the song written for him.
Sweet Savannah on the couch next to her grandparents, taking pictures of her mom’s silly singing faces.
Warming each other in ways only we Northerners know how…
Big thanks to the Hunter crew for everything big and small- from the band poster to the pizza, salad and hot tea- you made us feel special 🙂
Thanks to Monika and Chris for running the sound and Brandon for shooting video!
